For the first time in the Stanley Cup playoffs the Chicago Blackhawks looked like the young inexperienced team that everyone thought they were entering the playoffs. The Red Wings unrelenting attack and experience wore on they inexperience.
The two players that showed their youth the most in game four were Ben Eager and Kris Versteeg, Eager's frustration was to be expected as his role on the team is to be an agitator but Versteeg had no reason to put his team in a bad situation.
Versteeg took two back to back penalties in the 2nd period which resulted in a Detroit Red Wings goal and placed the game out of reach.
Although the series is not over between these two Original 6 franchises, the Blackhawks will need to show more mental fortitude and resilience if they want to make a come back against the defending champion Red Wings
